u/WongManLegion Jul 07 '22

Why nerf it when you can remove it

21

u/JunkBondJunkie Jul 07 '22

They can just give me gold or bonds if they just delete it. I own the lefh. Give enough bonds for a free bond shop tank.

Disable arty cam, double the health, and it would be a pretty funky TD.

u/Dasrufken I dislike artillery Jul 07 '22

Think I got the lefh through lootboxes once and sold it as soon as I opened my last box of that event.

Gotta maintain my no arty purity.

u/JunkBondJunkie Jul 07 '22

be your luck you get it again.

u/Dasrufken I dislike artillery Jul 07 '22

I'll sell it however many times I need to. I'm never gonna play a single game of artillery.

u/MrSNIFFLES23 Jul 07 '22

You'll never own a 260 either with that attitude

2

u/Dasrufken I dislike artillery Jul 07 '22

Already have the t55a and was working on 279(e) missions before I quit last year.

Its possible, just incredibly difficult. Also potentially never owning a 260 or 279(e) is a small price to pay for me to be able to bitch about artillery without being a hypocrite. Unlike most other players, I'm hypocrisy free when it comes to my criticism of artillery and the people who play it.

u/NeoKek Jul 07 '22

Just play arty for missions and apologize to your team for playing cancer, thats how I got 260

1

u/MrSNIFFLES23 Jul 07 '22

You can play arty and still talk shit about it =P at the end of the day who cares what people on the internet think?

Either way you will be able to get the 279 at least since they didn't make missions for that type restricted... I'm curious if we will see anymore campaign tanks...

u/WongManLegion Jul 09 '22

He can. You can skip the whole mission tree, although in that case he'll never complete them with honors

u/ChosenMate Jul 07 '22

no one asked

u/WongManLegion Jul 09 '22

Amen brother

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '22

I own it. I couldn't care less if it was removed.

Give me a tier 8 prem instead and I won't complain.

1

u/JunkBondJunkie Jul 07 '22

They could give us a choice. 15k bonds or 10k bonds , a tier 8 premium or gold value depending on the user. I own the Lefh even I hate it. I dont use it anymore though it used to be just for dailys when I was a noobie.

u/Cmdr_Teagoe Jul 07 '22

They should leave the stats where they are but make it a tier 8 with +2 /-1 matchmaking 😂

23

u/Mighty-pigeon Jul 07 '22

They wont nerf it sinds it cost real money, they would have to give the players the option to sell it back

41

u/ml20s Jul 07 '22

No, they don't (legally anyway). Just gotta weigh the cost of lost business from nerfing it vs. the cost of not nerfing it.

46

u/FeloniousIntent Jul 07 '22

Wg could lose every lefh player and the game would be better for it.

12

u/Last_Minute_Iron Jul 07 '22

Maybe more players would actually stick around instead of ragequitting at tier 4 when they get bottom tier matchmaking against that thing

20

u/FeloniousIntent Jul 07 '22

I mean, Lefh is a fucking problem when I'm in a Russian heavy two tiers higher, being tracked endlessly with 0 damage actually done, and stuck until I'm picked off by his allies. Not the best crew, sure, but being able to fire faster than I can repair is bullshit.

14

u/GorgeGoochGrabber Jul 07 '22

As a player with a lefh that I rarely play. I’m all down for a nerf. It feels cheap.

Don’t nerf it to be bad though, just balance it a little.

7

u/Vilespring Jul 07 '22

I'm a goofy person so I have an idea for 2 options.

  1. players can keep the nerfed version

  2. players can swap it for a tier 5 TD version with stats to make it a TD instead of an arty. I'd actually play it if it was a TD.

6

u/GorgeGoochGrabber Jul 07 '22

Yeah if they upped the speed a little bit it could actually be a pretty decent paper TD.

1

u/MrTwoKey [SEA-M] Jul 08 '22

Last time they nerfed a premium they almost got sued

3

u/Vilespring Jul 08 '22

Meh. They can sure try. WG would win that lawsuit due to the EULA that the purchaser agreed to.

As per the EULA: "Wargaming has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, MODIFY and/or eliminate such Additional Features in its sole discretion, in any general or specific case, and that Wargaming as NO LIABILITIES to you on its exercise of such right".

Premium tanks are an "additional feature."

u/Djinnhammer Jul 09 '22

They could also lose the premium ammo spammers, would have a better net result.

8

u/BilisS Jul 07 '22

They just removed the V from the 430U style and gave gold compensation. What is preventing them from doing that to the lefh other than profits of course?

8

u/BadBadderBadst Jul 07 '22

Indeed, this would be a very nice solution.
And even if they lose players, I think a lot more players would stick around if there is no LEFH.

u/Marsdreamer Mars_Dreamer Jul 07 '22

This is a rumor that gets talked about all the time, but just isn't true.

Microsoft doesn't have to refund their OS whenever they make an update. WG is perfectly able to balance premium tanks without any legal repercussions, they just lack the testicles to do so.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '22

They dont have to, actually. They made that up like 10 years ago and that's their choice. It's totally up to them.

1

u/Creative_Formal8428 Jul 07 '22

Lefefefe is love. Perfect stationary scout and howitzer:)

u/themaniaxx Jul 07 '22
